TOTALLY agree with you NR...
I don't know why a "competition" seems to crop up...but, as fast as news is breaking today...it seems rather silly.
Glad to see you HERE for a few.
I hear ya..
I am a very competitive fellow if you want to call it that, but I ain't here to win an award either for posting the most 1 liner Breaking News threads w/o links (not that it is a bad thing , mind you), a few folks are pretty good at it, it is the nature of the beast and the media rich age we live in, I reckun. I don't mind beng a backfiller, the "pay" is the same after all. lol ;-)
Bottom line, I don't care if I post a Breaking News events or a new promising health care item, just so the truly genuine news of interest is snagged and available down the road if needed..
